Moon Sand Gone Wrong = Sandy Oobleck

28 October

I attempted to make some moon sand (based on this recipe from Domestic Charm) for a solar system sensory bin, but it went horribly wrong. I added 4 cups of sand, 2 cups of cornstarch, and a cup of water like it said, and all I got was soup. So I added 4 more cups of sand and 2 more cups of water.....still soup. I let it settle a bit and poured half a cup of liquid off the top! Still it was more like sandy oobleck then moon sand. Apparently my sand was much too wet for the moon sand. I suppose it was a good idea, but it seems too messy to add anything to. I will come up with something else for our solar system. However, this sandy oobleck would not go to waste!

After I drained off the excess water.

Of course I let the kids play with it! Nathan played with it a bit too; although he kept saying, "It's so weird." Eli especially seemed to enjoy picking it up and having it run through his fingers. It was certainly a lot coarser then regular oobleck, but it maintains its original properties.

The "hangers" were stuck.

I think Eli would have played all day!

I guess it turned out pretty fun anyhow!
